dmcjeff:::I've created a basic survey for anyone who wants to do it (one page, multiple choice) and if enough people do it, then after a month, I'll post the results.

Hardly average listeners here... on this board CFRB and 640 are likely to be at the top, so the results will be meaningless.

I just got the above notice from Rogers... I know they've been using the Comcast platform, I wonder if it's a licensing requirement all of a sudden? Xfinity of course is what it's called in the US.

I suggest you take it back to the dealer and get them to show you, as you’d think there would be some instructions somewhere! I know this isn’t the most convenient suggestion but more of a last resort. Good luck!

I agree,,, the last 2 new cars I've had came with a young guy who would spend a half hour or so with me to explain all the electronics. I had to go back a couple of times but he was always helpful. Instruction manuals are highly over rated.
 

Maybe he negotiated some vacation time and is taking it now.

That is correct, WQLN initiated and paid for a direct feed to London.  I believe they identify as  Erie/ London. 
 

I watched it on WDIV on Rogers Ignite and it was fine... no glitches. And yeah, that Peter Alexander live extro looked 'weird' that's the word of the campaign (Trumps campaign) apparently.

The appointment is getting some blow back....

August 19, 2024Treaty One Territory, ManitobaAMC Communications[color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Treaty One Territory, Winnipeg[/color] – The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) is offended and disappointed by the recent appointment of Charles Adler to the Senate of Canada as recommended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to represent Manitoba.AMC is alarmed because Charles Adler’s past comments, in which he referred to Indigenous people as “uncivilized boneheads” and criticized First Nations Leadership and communities with grossly offensive language, are a stark reminder of the systemic racism that plagues our society. These are not just passing remarks.  They were and still are hurtful, but they also perpetuate harmful stereotypes and misconceptions about First Nations now that this is once again being brought to light because of this appointment.The AMC filed formal complaints against Adler’s vulgar and racist commentary in the past, and it is obvious that Canada and the Prime Minister have turned a blind eye to these offensive views when making this appointment to the Senate. The AMC is asking both the Governor General of Canada and the Prime Minister to reconsider and recall this appointment as they view it as a step backward in the ongoing efforts towards reconciliation and the recognition of First Nations rights in Canada.Grand Chief Cathy Merrick expressed the collective outrage felt by many: “The appointment of Charles Adler to the Senate is a grave insult to all First Nations in Manitoba and across Canada.  Senators are supposed to be accomplished Canadians from various professional backgrounds. They introduce bills, propose new laws, suggest amendments to legislation passed by the House of Commons, review public policy and debate issues.  His racist comments do not indicate a modicum of respect, equality, and justice that are supposed to guide our society. How can any First Nation feel that his reviews

No local news on CHEX tonight I am told, saying it would return on the 22nd

That's not a good sign
 

Tony Grace is a pretty solid anchor and in his back and forth with weatherman Will he seemed genuinely excited to be back in Waterloo Region. Must admit I chuckled when they said Will and Grace is back!

I've seen some cryptic messsages on Facebook suggesting that Kitchener's 91.5 The Beat and 107.5 Dave Rocks are moving into the Guelph building where Magic 106.1 and 1460 CJOY are located and that CJOY will just be a box in the computer rack (which it seems to be already from posts on here).

I suppose Corus owns the building in Guelph while leasing space for the two Kitchener stations so it would save some cash but does anyone know if it's true or just speculation? I haven't been able to find a definitive answer.

I have the same thought regarding Troy Reeb. In normal companies when managers fail to achieve - they're gone. I suppose if you keep the performance measurement adequately nebulous you can skate around for years, as he has.

Doug Murphy (I know... who?) is actually the CEO. He's the one that needs to go, the company has done nothing but decline under his leadership.

It looks like they took my advice from earlier in this thread. DO you think they read the big yellow board? LOL

Local stations also relied on political ads during election season, and that money is also drying up.

I see lots of political ads on all the local Detroit stations... so I guess that's not the issue.

I will miss Bernie thought, he's quite the 'personality'.
